Sustainable forest management and restoration awareness campaign.

What can a social media campaign teach an adult educator? Quite a lot, it turns out 👇

Over the past three months, FORestore ran a structured campaign across Facebook and LinkedIn to raise awareness about sustainable forest management and restoration. The results offer real lessons for anyone using online channels for awareness-raising or community engagement, not just in forestry, but in adult education and capacity building more broadly.

We've published a new article on EPALE, the European Commission's platform for adult learning, breaking down what the data actually showed: how LinkedIn and Facebook audiences responded differently to identical content, why watching the first 48–72 hours matters, and five concrete takeaways for educators planning their own campaigns.

👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/e39rPynQ

We also invite you to check out our Multimedia Gallery, capturing everything from deforestation challenges to restoration techniques and community-led action: https://lnkd.in/eRD9pheS

Which of these five lessons would change how you plan your next campaign?
